I was in Oklahoma City for the May 1999 F5 tornado and the May 2003 tornado, think that one was a F4.

Your pictures look very similar. I had never seen anything like that destruction. I took a few pictures. Even looking back at the pictures, they cannot capture the true distruction that you see standing on the ground first hand.
You see a set of concrete porch steps, so you know a house was there, but there is nothing around for a 1/4 mile left of the house.

During the 1999 tornado, there where semi trailers that the tornado picked up from who knows where, and dropped them inside Tinker Air Force base. They looked like giant pieces of crumbled tin foil.

Haven't been back to there since '03.
